    I took kids to Europe last year. I would definitely say NO to the fanny packs. If
    you do choose to wear one, you might as well also wear a sign that says
    "AMERICAN TOURIST! PLEASE COME AND ROB ME!" Make sure the sign
    is in Italian, of course.

    I wore a small leather pouch that hooked to my belt and then slipped down
    into the pants. I figured it would be HORRIBLE, but it wasn't that bad. I only
    put my passport and extra traveller's checks in there.

    We did not have any trouble in Italy, because I had DRILLED into the kids
    heads how important it was to stay together, stay with the guide, etc. They
    thought I was being ultra-paranoid, but they all came home safe and no one
    got robbed.

    Feel free to email me privately if you have other questions.
